It works for me without using the Value property (I do agree with Leith that omitting the Value property is sloppy).
Note that when you create the array here:
it is a 1-D array.
But when you create the array here:
it is a 2-D array.
When I set projects to equal this range I always get a not found message.
When you step through your code using F8, after the array of values has been assigned to Projects, can you see BM01 when you expand Projects in the Locals window? If not, perhaps you are pointing at the wrong sheet and should qualify the Range property:
